As someone who joined Medium in 2016, when a single clap was enough, this does sound much more promising for us poets and short form writers.

I've left and come back a number of times over the years, hoping the community feel was still present. Sadly , I have found it harder each time to sift through the click bait.

Thanks for listening to the community, some of which have been here for many years.

Here is to hoping for better changes that benefit those that focus on quality not quantity!
